6. Fire Safety Advice
When using household protective devices, basic safety precautions should
always be followed, including those listed below
•
Please
read all
instructions.
•
Rehearse emergency escape
plans so
everyone
at home knows what to
do
in case the alarm sounds.
• Use the Alarm Test Button to familiarise your family with the Alarm
sound and
to
practice
fire
drill
s
regularly with all family
members.
Draw up a floor plan
that
will show each member at least 2 escape routes from each room in the house.
Children tend to hide when they don‟t know what to do. Teach children how
to escape, open windows, and use roll up fire ladders and stools without adult
help. Make sure they know what to do if the alarm goes off.
•
Constant exposure
to high or freezing
temperatures,
high humidity or a
high
level of nuisance alarms may reduce the life of the battery.
•
Nuisance alarms
can be quickly
silenced
by fanning vigorously with
a
newspaper or similar to remove the smoke or press the test / hush button.
• Do not
attempt
to
remove, recharge
or burn the
battery, as
it may
explode.
•
If
it is
necessary
to
remove
the battery for
separate disposal, handle
carefully to avoid possible eye damage or skin irritation if battery has leaked
or corroded.
• To maintain sensitivity to
smoke/heat,
do not paint or cover the Alarm in
any
manner; do not permit any accumulation of cobwebs, dust or grease.
